I’m Rev. Jocelyn J. Jones — a nationally recognized speaker, trauma healing educator, and minister with deep expertise in emotional wellness, faith-based trauma recovery, and purpose-driven leadership. Whether I’m equipping churches to respond to trauma, speaking to survivors, or helping organizations prevent burnout and compassion fatigue, my goal is the same: to help people heal, lead, and live with intention.
My speaking style is interactive, transparent, and rich in storytelling. I don’t just deliver messages — I create moments that awaken purpose, challenge mindsets, and call people into something deeper.

The Road Toward Healing from Trauma
